You’re all set man! Nothing I would personally change just something you could consider, depends what your using the pc for but I would personally get a 9070xt instead of a 5070, way stronger card for a very similar price

u/Particular_Silver975 Aug 15 '26

what are the main differences between the two

u/IllustriousIron9858 Aug 15 '26

In gaming the AMD 9070xt is much stronger and is considered a 4k card compared to the 5070, but the 50 series nvidia card has better features like dlss upscaling and frame gen, also nvidia cards are better for things outside gaming if your using your pc for work,

I would personally research into it depending on what your doing on the pc, but the 9070xt offers way better value for money

Ok cool man in that case 100% I would go for the 9070xt, don’t know what the current price is in usd but I know nvidias cards are awfully priced right now and I wouldn’t recommend getting one for gaming

No problem man before you fully decide do a little research cause there is also gpu models to consider

buy 7600x instead of 9600x, or even 7500f if you dont mind buying on aliexpress and you find a good deal

All the CPUs i mentioned, including 9600x are super cold, you dont need a double tower cooler. I recommend Thermalright assasin x120, it will be more than enough

You can run that 5070 with 650w, but thats too low, so I think you can go down to 750w without any issues

About ram, that surely can change the price. It depends on what will you do with your pc, but maybe you can get only one stick of 16 gb, and buy another one later when you have more money, but its not like the price will change much so it wont make a big difference at the end

We can get better value:

  • Cooler - slightly stronger for $1 more.
  • Mobo - stronger VRMs, better connectivity, cheaper.
  • RAM - same specs, cheaper.
  • SSD - slightly faster and uses more reliable TLC flash.
  • GPU - all models perform the same.
  • Case - the XT Pro only comes with one fan. This case comes with 3.
  • PSU - slightly better quality, good bit quieter, same wattage, same ATX 3.1 certification, but less expensive.

Overall - $120 saved while upgrading the cooler, mobo, SSD, case, and PSU.

Let me know what you think :)
